Five prunes (dried plums, 42g) have 101 calories and provide good source of fiber. This same serving is an excellent source of vitamin K and supplies a top source of the mineral boron - two nutrients needed for strong bones. In fact, a study from Oklahoma State University found prunes provided protection against post-menopausal bone loss. In addition, a study from USDA researchers found that gram-for-gram, prunes had the highest antioxidant levels compared to 20 other fruits or vegetables (including blueberries, blackberries and raspberries), making them an Antioxidant Superfood.
